Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Hereditary hearing loss is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder associated with mutations of a large number of diverse genes. In this study we applied targeted capture and massively parallel sequencing to identify the disease-causing gene of a Chinese family segregating recessive inherited deafness. METHODS: After excluding mutations in common deafness genes GJB2, SLC26A4, mitochondrial...
